As Rahul Gandhi will get prepared to go to Puducherry, the Congress govt within the UT is all set to break down

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi is slowly turning right into a messenger of unhealthy fortunes for the celebration. Rahul Gandhi is about to go to Puducherry on February 17, and a day earlier than he visits the state, the Congress-led authorities within the legislative meeting has slipped into minority with solely 14 MLAs towards the required variety of 16.The Congress celebration is working the Puducherry authorities in alliance with the DMK as a result of it’s in need of a majority. In the 30 seats of the meeting that went to polls, Congress gained 15 within the final election whereas DMK gained 2 and each events got here collectively to kind the federal government.However, in the previous few weeks, the celebration has misplaced many MLAs resulting from defections and resignations. Two of them — A Namassivayam and E.Theeppainjan — resigned on January 25 to hitch BJP. On Monday, Malladi Krishna Rao give up and immediately, John Kumar resigned, leading to a minority authorities.As of now, out of the 30 legislative meeting seats that go for elections (complete 33 seats with 3 being nominated), the federal government, in addition to the opposition, have 14 MLAs every whereas 2 seats are mendacity vacant. Therefore, earlier than the UT goes to the polls in April-May this 12 months, the Congress celebration might lose the federal government as a result of the opposition, with the identical variety of MLAs, would make a declare for the federal government.Moreover, the relations between DMK – with out whose help Congress will lose the declare on the federal government immediately – and Congress will not be superb resulting from issues in seat-sharing for Tamil Nadu in addition to Pondicherry meeting election.The points between DMK-Congress began popping out within the open when the grand previous celebration carried out badly within the 2019 normal election however gained nearly all of the seats in Tamil Nadu, because of its alliance with DMK. Many DMK leaders questioned the power of Congress to win votes and began seeing it as baggage.Previously Senior DMK chief S Jagathrakshakan stated that the celebration will contest on all 30 meeting seats of Puducherry meeting alone and added, “If we fail (to win polls), I will commit suicide on this stage.”If the DMK decides to drag out the help, the Congress-DMK alliance authorities would fall months earlier than the election (anticipated to be held by May this 12 months) and V Narayanasamy must resign from the CM chair.The Congress celebration has thus turn out to be a legal responsibility for a lot of regional events, contributing to their loss. For instance, among the many main causes for the RJD-led Grand Alliance’s loss in Bihar, was the poor tally of Congress which gained lower than 20 seats out of 70 it contested. Even the Communist events have higher strike charges in comparison with Congress and subsequently many regional events and their leaders have began questioning their alliance with the Congress celebration.In Kerala, the Kerala Congress left the INC-led United Democratic Front over the past native physique elections because of the growing tilt of the celebration in direction of the Muslim League. The Christian votes shifted to the Left Democratic Front and this resulted in a humiliating loss for the UDF within the 2020 native physique elections.The leaders of the regional events don’t wish to ally with Congress as a result of the central management of the celebration can not deliver votes like Prime Minister Modi, who single-handedly turned the outcomes of the Bihar legislative election 2020. On one hand, PM Modi might flip even probably the most unlikely elections whereas on the opposite, Rahul Gandhi’s go to to any state additional weakens the place of the celebration. Therefore, even within the states like Rajasthan and Chattishgarh, the place Congress has a authorities, senior celebration leaders keep away from any marketing campaign or rally by Rahul Gandhi.
